A question for the peptide synthesis people. I have just sequenced a
peptide that has an amino group at the C-terminal end rather than the
normal carboxy group. What difference does this make to the molecular
weight of the peptide. Is it just a matter of subtracting the COOH and
adding the NH2 or does the NH2 attach to the C-terminal end through the
normal loss of water, or some other mechanism?
Thanks alot
